Stichting Historische Cartografie van de Nederlanden

Anecdotes

The Foundation has noticed that during the study of historical maps small pieces of information appear which are interesting for many, but they have not enough "body" to devote an article to in a magazine.

They can be comments about decorations on a card, a special projection or whatsoever. In addition, we believe that there is room to publish additions on map bibliographies. A reprint of a custom map bibliographies as the Seventeen Provinces will probably still take a number of years. The Foundation would like to collect such information on its website.

Below you will find some links that lead to Anecdota Cartografica. These anecdotes are written by people from the foundation or offered to the foundation by people from outside. The foundation hopes to receive many Anecdota Cartografica from visitors
